What are some "model" sites that I should be striving to emulate?

Alright folks, I want some top of the line examples of a sites you know are making a killing each month in either adsense, cpa, or search, etc...

Give us noobies something to strive for. I dont want your own site obviously but if you have ever came across a site or competitor that was doing a very good job or had some very nice rankings just post it there and tell us why you think its a good example.
